    Off the chart (literally!) disk usage

    Glenn, we would like to check if you are still experiencing a high disk usage on your end, if yes, we would like to ask if you can try to follow the steps below for as a workaround:

    • Go to Start menu and select Settings
    • Select System
    • Select Notification & actions
    • Then turn off all notification and check if disk usage would still get a high usage.

    Let us know how it goes.

    100% disk usage and memory usage

    Hi,

    100% disk usage and memory usage can be caused by a software corruption, running application running on the background and malware or virus infection.

    For us to properly isolate the issue and provide an appropriate resolution, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Did the issue happen after installing the Fall Creators?
    • Did you receive any error messages?
    • Can you send us the screenshot of the Task Manager showing the 100% disk usage and memory usage?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    For isolation purposes, please perform a clean boot to see if the same issue will occur. Refer to this
    article for more information on how to perform a clean boot
    in Windows.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Heavy disk usage

    Heavy Fluctuating disk usage in Windows 10

    I have a Dell Laptop with 16GB RAM, intel-i76500U CPU@2.5GHZ with 2TB hard disk and windows 10. I consistently see my hard drive usage go to 100% and then fluctuate to as low as 10% very rapidly again and again. It leads to heavy system lag while I am using
    very few and simple applications like chrome, word etc. I have already performed a complete clean boot 3 days ago. What can be the reason and how system performance can be improved?
